Man Man is a band that proved themselves to be hyped, but never over-hyped. Unlike someone such as, say, Dan Deacon, Man Man’s shows don’t make you feel like you’re supposed to dance — the irrestistablility lies in the fact that you just can’t really help but do it. There seems to be a lot of artists out right now who are more about a crazy show than the actual music (cough Dark Meat cough), but with Man Man, the focus is on the brilliant music and the rest naturally falls into place. Banging on pots and drums, the men faced each other as usual, gallivanting and playing with glazed-over eyes, stuck in their own face-painted, feather-wearing, peyote-infused jam session, all while inviting the crowd in on their jagged melodies and wild times.
